Preview Anne Hathaway Explains Her ‘Motherly’ Knicks Fandom

Anne Hathaway describes her fan experience at Madison Square Garden as attempting to remain “chill” while supporting her beloved Knicks.

During a recent appearance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, the acclaimed actress shared her perspective on her dedication to the New York Knicks. Hathaway humorously explained that her approach to being a fan is characterized by a certain “motherly” inclination.

“I’m a fan of the Knicks, yes,” Hathaway confirmed, “and when I’m at the Garden, I really try to keep it chill.” However, she admitted that this is often easier said than done. She elaborated on her passionate, almost maternal, way of cheering for the team.

The actress confessed to feeling a sense of protectiveness towards the players, as if they were her own children. “I feel like I’m mothering them,” she confessed with a laugh. “Like, ‘Come on, baby, you can do it!’ Or, ‘Oh, that was a tough one, honey, shake it off.'” This sentiment highlights a deep emotional investment in the team’s performance and the well-being of its players.
